Every other Huawei worried about updating to 9.1, meanwhile here we are on 8.1 - Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers

The forgotten Huawei Mate 20 lite C782. I see others complaining about not getting 9.1 others are downloading 9.1 yet here I am stuck on Android 8.1 December 2018 patch, wish I never bought this phone.

Well, just wait....
Huawei is not the one to blame (everytime) for slow implementation of the updates. The company already provided the update to the general public...
Many carriers are the ones that are slowing down that... If you have a unlocked/debranded version of the Mate 20 Lite, the update should appear quickly, but a branded/locked phone will take more time.
Make pressure with your carrier.

It is unlocked sim free No Updates

Why we cant update mate pro 10

I updated my mate 10 Pro with Huawei firmware finder, because the phone didn't find any update in setting section.
I have a friend and he also have mate Pro 10.
I was curious and asked him to show me his phone.
The firmware on his phone is dating October 2017.
He told me he didn't received any update till today.
So wtf is wrong with this phone?

Did he rebrand? Buy it somewhere else than his home country?
He could just try with Firmware finder as you did.

Couldnt agree more.
Huawei is really a big joke when it comes to updates. Their mid range phones
get more updates than their flagship phones. Still no face unlock officially and Android 8.1
for the Mate 10.
Id like to add Nokia and Essential phones are up there with Pixel in terms of updates.

Face unlock:
ALP-L29C636B135 has it, ALP-L09C432B136 has it. BLA-L29C432B142 has it. A few more probably. However, they probably won't be pushed to devices until June.

The CEO brags about Mate 10 having the ability for face unlock at the press conference when compared to Iphone X. Yet it takes forever to implement and distribute to users.
Unbelievable.
I really can not understand why all this hype about face unlocking on android ... was already available in my last 3 motorolas ... and warns it is not very secure as fingerprint and will not work in the dark. already belonged to the android much earlier than in iOS, now that apple uses in X everybody wants to use

C605 Mate 10 / Mate 10 Pro Topic

Fellow C605 users
Since we seem to have a relatively small presence on XDA, I was hoping that we could collate all our region related discussion into one topic.
What firmware version are you all on?
I'm on b138 that I got via ota around mid July
No updates since
Is this unique to me?
There is one update newer on FF but no approval yet.
I'm the only C605 user left?

Nice
I'm feeling hard pressed to pay that FH money ( on principle)
No doubt that FH is an unrivalled service
I also just have a little warranty left in my country
Did you get the AI night shot as well?
Is it a significant difference?
Currently on b138 with July security update myself

Yes i did since 145 i think, but is not ALL that ... Is ok!
i'm on .137 since july
I'm also on .138 July patch with face unlock still waiting for .140 it's taking forever now.
I'm on 137.
What I really want is to rebrand and convert to dual sim.
But FH tool says must not be on July Patch Updates
My mate 9 just updated to August
But my mate 10 is still stuck on July
Not sure how to feel
Maybe something is really wrong with the mate 10 August and that's why it's not approved and pushed out
New mate 19 build is now approved on FF
Nothing in system update yet
Got it today.

No only GPU update it added game suite but about that low light camera mode I don't see it but I have night mode camera not sure if these 2 are the same thing tho this phone is new bought it a few weeks ago go like a 3 updates right away after turning wifi on.
Updated with FF like in the other topic here to b140
Ai low like shot is working (although it's not in the changelog)
Seems like .140 went from approved to unapproved I wonder why is that?

Doesn't seem to include 9.0.5's feature set, so it may be based on it stability and system improvements wise, but doesn't add some if not most of the perks of the actual OOS build, no wonder it took so long to be released...

Yeah that's definitely a plus, it was one of the reasons I converted, worked so much better on 9.0.5, good for everyone who's still on stock, device works better now and they said nightmode got an update too, so pics should be nicer in the dark.
So they added the stability updates, but ripped out everything else it seems. Not cool. Wonder how long it'll actually take us to get the 9.05 build.

Someone said black friday, so roughly a week from now, sit tight and see what happens in a week.
Eh in that case I'll just wait a couple more days to get my token and move straight to international 9.0.5. I wonder what they did to the Unlock app. Lol.

Orrrrr maybe they fixed that possible bug where people would request permanent unlocks immediately at purchase and got approved despite being on eip and under 40 days, some even tried within the first 24hrs and got approved automatically for some odd reason, lol.

Got this off reddit. Seems to add the new gestures from 9.0.5(?) as well as other improvements. Can someone who got this update on the TMO firmware check to see if the gestures are actually the ones in the latest update. Then we can confirm that the TMO variant just has a different naming convention.
Also, the build of that is 181029 while the 9.0.5 intl. is 181103

i got mine a week ago from O2 and i am on Version 9.0.0.198 (1. February)
I'm not from Germany but I got same update 198 (Giffgaff on 02 network)
It's just security patch, we will not have any EMUI update with features for a while I Reckon, hope they are working on Android Q 10 ... First time I bought a Huawei phone but it looks like they are not the best manufacturers in terms of update and they are "locked" with modification so I'm not expecting anything crazy from them...

Software bug in Call Forwarding !
according to the tech dept of O² Germany that there is probably a bug in the software,
and that is why it is not possible to DISABLE it in Call Forwarding, when BUSY or UNREACHABLE.
is everyone else having the same issue with the set regardless the carrier?

As far as I know updates are pushed by Huawei. I don't see how or why the carrier should be involved. The only thing I have noticed is that after putting a Vodafone Sim in my device it automatically downloaded some Vodafone bloatware. But it does not affect the actual firmware or updates.
Back in the day the phones were locked and branded, had a Vodafone design preinstalled and the carrier name written on the back of the device. They therefore had a specially modified firmware which they were in charge of updating. But since all of that has disappeared there is no need for the carrier to get involved. Everybody wins, faster updates less effort.

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
Now, there were a couple of apps did actually automatically installed after I inserted/connected with the O² card.
One of them is still there "SIM-Toolkit", the other one I can't remember, I probably uninstalled it.
There was also a prompt for the SIM-PIN every time I restarted the device. I did manage to disable that.
And also, some O² Germany links (help/legal stuff) somewhere ... can't remember where too

A few days ago I read somewhere, that the carrier has an impact on the OTA. Somebody gave the advise to temporarily switch the SIM cards (from Telefonica o2 to Vodafone) and at the next boot he magically got a new OTA update. (Looks similar to windows 10's update channels) at least it's worth to try.

9.0.0.210
today I received the official update. version 9.0.0.210
anyone else with O² Germany?
Anyone knows what's new with this from .198 ? I don't see much !
3 major issues for me are still there:
* no separate sound levels for sms/notifications & ringtone
* no separate sound for SIM2's sms as its ringtone
* no changes in auto-brightness

Did you also get the update yesterday? Or does it work randomly regardless the carrier !?
What I meant is that Auto Brightness indeed "works",
but you cannot turn it off permanently, it turns itself ON again after a restart.
And about the separate sounds, I think you should check it again ...
Ringtone, SMS, Notifications = they all have the same joint level,
while the Media, Alarms, Calls = do have their separate levels !

Vog-l04 emui 10 official update?

Hi,
I am trying to find any information regarding an official update for Canadian p30 pro users seems like there's no official roadmap for the update release can't seem to find any anything online either? Does anyone know when we will get the update?
Whenever the big 3 decides when we will get the update. We are in the hands of our carriers now...
Huawei is always changing their release date.
Huawei is constantly changing their release date. First it said late November. Then in December. Everytime I call their hotline in Mexico. I can never get a definite answer. This is what I dislike about the company they are polite enough. But never give you a definite answer on these types of things

I'm with Koodo in Nova Scotia. Still nothing. It's still not the end of the world since the official stable Android 10 release was only four months ago in September; however, I am starting to get anxious. If we get the update in January I'll be a happy camper. February I'll be a content, but a little peeved. Anything past March and that's where my patience will come to an end. Carriers usually play with the update for 6-8 weeks before distributing the OTA, so it's probably going to be in February.
